Self-discipline is the process of decluttering ourselves. Successful persons will be self-disciplined. You can bring self-control by cultivating self-discipline. It is the best way to attain self -control. Self-control is a holistic process of controlling your thoughts, emotions, and your behavioural habits. If you can master these three things, you are a successful person.
If you want to cultivate this attribute in yourself,you have to set it as a goal. Once you set it you should work hard to achieve it. This has been tested by a lot of people from ancient times. With great difficulty, they have achieved self-discipline. Jim Rohn has rightly said that Self-discipline is the bridge between goal and accomplishment.
Yes, it is! What do you say? Come on, let us understand the 10 habits to have better self-discipline.
1. Gratitude
Gratitude is being thankful for the good things you have. In the haste to earn money, we tend to forget what we have and chase for things which we don't have. It creates stress and worries. Stop crying for the things which we don't have. Look back and realize that Gid has given us all the wonderful things we need. Develop a habit of gratitude in yourself. Daily spare at least 10 minutes of your time to do this. Even if you think you don't have anything to feel grateful for, do this every day. I am sure you will find out at least one thing for which you have to be thankful for. Your life itself is an awesome gift from God. Isn't it?
2. Forgiveness
You have to cultivate the habit of forgiving others. Because anger is like a virus which destroys our whole system. When you vent your frustration on others, it creates unnecessary tension in you. So, try to forgive others.
3. Meditate
Meditate daily.This will help you to ease up your mind and improve concentration. When we meditate, we get connected to God.We get answers to our quest for spirituality. Make sure you meditate at least for 10-15 minutes. It is enough to declutter your mind.
